Clause 1
Housing Corporation (Delegation) etc. Bill
4:00 pm
Peter Bone (Wellingborough, Conservative)
I understand the Minister, but I do not see what practical difference it will make to give delegating power to the Housing Corporation. At the moment, all that happens is that the board is required to make the decision. An officer prepares the report and it is presented to the board. Under the new proposals, the officer will prepare the report, but it will not need to go to the board. In practical terms, that will remove a safeguard. As far as I can see, such provision does not do anything to improve the efficiency of the Housing Corporation.
